Monday Recruitin'
Update 8/27: Moved PA HB Christian Wilson to committed. Removed OK S Kye Staley (Okie State), TX DE Kapron Lewis-Moore (A&M). Linked to articles on MI OL commit Dann O'Neill (another), NJ LB Chris Pantale, video feature on PA HB commit Christian Wilson, more articles on MN WR Michael Floyd, AZ CB Marc Anthony, CA RB Darrell Scott, CO LB Jon Major, PA HB Christian Wilson, PA DE Shayne Hale.
FWIW: internets scuttlebutt on NJ LB JB Fitzgerald. And Varsity Blue took in an OLSM-Cass Tech game, reporting back on Cissoko and '09 commit Will Campbell plus '09 WR/TE Dion Sims. Also: an article on elusive PA CB Jarred Holley that may have an incorrect list for him.
Editorial Opinion: Not much movement. Everyone who was planning to commit by the time their football season got in swing already has; those waiting for official visits haven't started taking them yet.
Varsity Blue took it upon themselves to go check out a Cass Tech-OLSM game featuring Michigan commits Boubacar Cissoko and William Campbell plus high profile '09 WR/TE Dion Sims:
In my previous experiences with Cissoko, I had been under the impression that his listed height was greater than the 5-7 he is typically reported to be. However, seeing Cissoko in action, it was obvious he was a tiny guy. As just a high school senior, it is possible that he is still growing.
On defense, Cissoko was not afraid to get physical with much bigger players, and he was frequently matched up against Dion Sims. Despite giving Sims almost a foot in height and close to 100 pounds, Cissoko showed no fear in jamming Sims off the line and downfield. Cissoko did get burned once deep, as he got his head around too late on a long pass, and due to his height, was unable to compensate. He did, however, make the tackle a couple yards shy of the endzone. As a tackler, Cissoko tends to focus on the hit, rather than wrapping up the ballcarrier. However, on the occasion that Cissoko wasn't able to get a clean shot on the carrier, he wisely used his arms to take out the legs. Cissoko chased down two sweep plays in the backfield, one of them on a shoestring tackle.
There is more: Campbell is very large, Sims might be destined for TE, and more pictures.
NJ LB Chris Pantale is a tight end to most schools, but Michigan is recruiting him as an enormous linebacker. At 6'6", 235 pounds, he's Crable-sized. Michigan has a good shot:
"My favorites would probably be Boston College, Virginia and Michigan," he said.Pantale just returned from a trip to Michigan and Michigan State with his father, Bill. ... At Michigan, Pantale walked into the legendary Schembechler Hall and immediately felt the rich football tradition. He met with head coach Lloyd Carr and linebacker coach Steve Szabo, who said he sees Pantale as a strong side linebacker.
"Then I got a tour of the Big House, 107,000 seats," Pantale said. "It was unbelievable. The trip was really good for me to be able to help narrow my choices."
It's still Cal, Michigan, and Nebraska for AZ CB Marc Anthony:
"I have two official visits set up. I am going to Nebraska on September 14th for the USC game and September 21st for the Penn State game at Michigan.""I think I will take an official before that. We are working to try and get that one set up for an official to Cal in September. It's not confirmed yet, though."
Cal is at Oregon on the 29th, so Michigan will get the last visit. Given his report of a Michigan lead after camp, other articles in which he's admitted that Nebraska trails Cal and Michigan, and the visit pattern I think Anthony is a very good bet to be the second corner in the class. Anthony just picked up a fourth star from Rivals; Scout still has him at three.
The rest of the above articles are fluffy profiles without much in the way of news.
One final note: you can file this under "specious internet rumors," but RecruitingPlanet's thread on JB Fitzgerald recently acquired a post from a man who claims a connection:
I have a close friend who coaches at WWPB (his HS). Says it looks *VERY* good for Blue. Also said he is a great kid and very smart.
This is the conventional wisdom on Fitzgerald; it's nice to have it reinforced. He is also visiting for Penn State; no other visits are set yet.
Someone managed to track down elusive PA CB Jarred Holley and get a distressing list:
The number of offers he received from Division I schools skyrocketed, and now the 5-11, 178-pound Holley has defending national champion Florida recruiting him heavily, in addition to Penn State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Virginia, Michigan State, North Carolina State, Stanford, and Rutgers -- just to name the schools on his final list for consideration.
State is highlighted because dollars to donuts that's supposed to be just "Michigan." A guy from Pennsylvania does not have Florida, Virginia, Stanford, Georgia Tech, and Michigan State on one list. (Also the previous articles, vague as they were, implied Michigan was a factor while offering no mention of State.) Think this is a reporter error. Holley's still a long way from making a decision.
Some Guy Named Gingell
...is your kicker:
"As of right now, Jason Gingell will be doing field goals and I will be doing kickoffs," kicker Bryan Wright said Saturday at U-M's fan day at Michigan Stadium.
Gingell, Wright and K.C. Lopata were competing for the open position and, according to Gingell and Wright, they were informed by the coaches on Thursday of the decisions.
"I always kept my hopes up and knew with Garrett leaving, it would be open," said Gingell, a 5-foot-9, 191-pound senior from Northville who played with U-M long snapper Sean Griffin at Detroit Catholic Central. "What the coaches look for is consistency ... It's better at the end of camp to finish better and it was more important to be consistent at the end of camp instead of at the beginning and I was at the end."
I would prefer to see Wright, a redshirt freshman on scholarship, take the job, but I'll let him miss a couple 27-yarders against Appalachian State before I bust out the tinfoil hat.
-- Among the other position battles, freshman cornerback Troy Woolfolk said Morgan Trent and Johnny Sears are the starting corners.
"I'm at second string at cornerback, trying to work my way up there," Woolfolk said.
He said the mental part of the game, especially learning to read his keys, is the biggest challenge.
-- Right guard Alex Mitchell said his right knee, which he "tweaked in a practice" last week, is improving during rehab and he hopes to return for the Oregon game on Sept. 8.
Don't think the Woolfolk thing is particularly meaningful except as an indication that Doug Dutch is never going to see the field ever, but it would be nice to have Mitchell available for a potentially scary game against Oregon.
Update: Also, Carson Butler says he's not buried in the doghouse:
A six-game starter in 2006, Butler led all Michigan tight ends with 19 catches. Despite his extended absence this off-season, the redshirt sophomore said he should be able to contribute to the Wolverines in short order.
"I feel like I'm back in the mix," he said. "Not too far away."
Anyone out there get something useful from Fan Day? Like, say "Johnny Sears will be an All-American?" Bueller?
Contingency Plans
Yea, these are the times that try men's souls. The Big Ten Network is probably not coming to many people who would like to watch the Appalachian State game. But the internet is here to help.
Options other than the bar:
1. MGoVideo. Remember MGoVideo.com? You should. It's pretty cool: a bittorrent tracker focused exclusively on Michigan athletics. I have emailed the site's operator about plans for the opening weekend:
Something should be up about two or three hours after the game. I've suggested a 1.5GBish avi and then maybe a DVD later in the week for big games but I don't have any clear agreement with the uploader yet.
Torrents tend to go faster when more people are active on them and there are plans for FTP sharing to get a number of seeders up and going, so this has the potential to be a relatively rapid answer to the problem. You probably wouldn't get the game down until Sunday morning, but it's not like Appalachian State or EMU is really in doubt anyway. I will post a link to the torrent as soon as it becomes available on Saturday. For you to take advantage of it you'll need to download one of the many BitTorrent clients -- I use Azureus -- but from there it will be a matter of clicking and waiting.
Positives: reliable, good quality copy of the game.
Negatives: takes a long time. Dubious legality.
2. Sopcast. I don't know much about this "sopcast" thing but I do know that soccer dorks use it to watch games from all over the world thanks to the the valiant efforts of a few guys with massive upload bandwidth. Essentially, it's a slingbox that you broadcast to the internet at large. I don't have the time (arrrgh previews arrrrgh) to set this up myself, but anyone with the technical ability and resources to set up a sopcast of Appalachian State, please let me know and I'll put up links to the appropriate items.
Positives: immediate.
Negatives: could blow up. Scalability questions. Dubious legality.
On the "dubious legality": no one's going to track you down because you downloaded the Appalachian State game. At some point copyright owners might attempt to shut down the trackers or sopcasters, but there's no precedent for anyone taking action against a downloader AFAIK. Unless you are really amazingly paranoid it should be of no concern.
Blogpoll Roundtable 3.1
Who is overrated?
The easiest thing to do here is present The Hoosier Report's argument for Georgia:
To some degree, my rationale for ranking the Bulldogs #5 (as opposed to #14 in the Blogpoll at large) is inconsistent with above. UGa returns only 3 defensive starters. Consistent with my other logic, the Bulldogs do return QB Matthew Stafford, who should be better (of course, being worse would be almost impossible). In the SEC East, even compared to defending champion Florida, I trust Richt's track record at Georgia more than I trust the track record of any other coach/program. Last year was Georgia's worst season since Richt's first season, 2001. My hunch is that Georgia will rebound. That's good enough for the preseason, right?
Well... no! No, it isn't. Witness: we've got the three returning starters from the defense that kept Georgia afloat last year, a red flag from a clever theorem, and the low likelihood of a true sophomore with an almost 1:2 TD-INT ratio carrying a team anywhere except a Year of Considerable Pain . But this is the trump card:
Because of injuries, four true or redshirt freshmen are playing on the first-team offensive line right now.
In all, Georgia is down to eight scholarship linemen. None of the injuries is too serious.
Projected starters Chester Adams, a senior, and Scott Haverkamp, a junior college transfer, should be back from ankle injuries within a couple of days. In the meantime, redshirt freshman defensive lineman Kiante Tripp was moved to the offensive line Tuesday.Haverkamp is a first-year player, and Adams is at a new position and in a new role as a leader. Their brief departures from the practice field have shown just how tenuous Georgia's grasp on success up front is.
"I told myself after 2003 it wouldn't happen again," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt said.
But the thin red line happened in 2006 and now, as proven the past few days, could easily happen again in 2007.
"We got pretty slim out there for a while last year," said Davis, a redshirt freshman. "And it is looking a little scary out there now."
It could be downright frightening if you look at it from the perspective of quarterback Matthew Stafford. There's a strong chance both tackle positions will be held down by true freshmen.
Trinton Sturdivant is almost a lock to start at left tackle, on Stafford's blind side. Clint Boling is making a push to play at the right tackle. (If the latter happened, Adams would move back to his natural guard position.)
And the learning curve is Everest-steep. Georgia kicks off the season against two teams with high hopes, Oklahoma State and South Carolina.
This is going to be bad. Very, very bad. Unless Stafford matures immediately (chances of this...
...are slim) or the Georgia offensive line turns into Christmas Miracle Voltron, the offense is going to be just as bad as it was last year when Georgia was wildly fortunate to finish 9-4. With a nearly all-new defense, replicating even that record looks like a longshot. The only reason to rank the Dawgs appears to be historical inertia.
I'm also highly dubious about Auburn for similar reasons. SMQB's brilliant "Life on the Margins" series is a preseason feature that explores the particularly lucky and unlucky teams of the previous year. Auburn comes in for a bludgeoning:
Sounding the alarm at least as loud as anything in that chart [which showed Auburn outgained significantly in four separate wins] is this: Auburn was 6-2 in the SEC, yet was outgained by about 33 yards per conference game (Vanderbilt, 1-7, was outgained by 24.7 ypg). Not only were the Tigers incredibly opportunistic – the great turnover margin, the pass interference no-call against LSU, a defensive and a special teams touchdown against Florida, the onside kick at South Carolina, short field scores in rock-bottom offensive efforts against 'Bama and Nebraska – but they were the only team in the conference that couldn't also argue about the one that got away, because their two losses were unambiguous blowouts at the hands of Arkansas and Georgia, both starting true freshman quarterbacks on the road.
Brandon Cox has never impressed and he regressed badly towards the end of 2006. He threw 19 interceptions, the same as Curtis Painter. Also, Auburn has a bit of a problem on the offensive line, too. One starter returns; true freshman Lee Ziemba is the probable starter at one tackle spot. Other freshmen dot the two-deep in uncomfortable places like wide receiver, safety, and center. I think 15 is pretty generous even though they were 11-2 last year. I can see ranking them somewhere at the tail end of the poll.
Who is underrated?
Arkansas. It's odd that the most hyped player in the country finds his team in need of this sort of defending, but apparently he does. The offense returns virtually intact, down only two offensive linemen and Mitch Mustain, still in possession of McFadden, Felix Jones, and Marcus Monk, three men undoubtedly raised in a secret laboratory somewhere. Even though the Hogs couldn't throw worth a damn last year, they still finished 29th in total offense. If Casey Dick can just elevate himself to slight competence...
Arkansas is suffering from a sort of inverse Charles Rogers Theorem effect, I think, after losing their final three games of the year. But I submit these facts to you: LSU was outgained in its victory and the final margin came courtesy a kick return touchdown. Wisconsin was outgained nearly two-to-one but managed to hang on to the Citrus Bowl. (Florida did outplay Arkansas, although that backbreaking Reggie Fish punt muff screams "alternate history fork point".)
Perhaps it's just my natural skittishness as a Michigan fan that has to actually face this team, but Oregon also seems low to me. Again, this is a team that finished the year poorly, in Oregon's case spectacularly so. The Ducks lost their last four games, the finale a 30-point loss to a pretty meh BYU team, and finished 6-7 only because of one of the all-time refereeing gaffes in college football history. Plus, their quarterback spent the summer screwing around with baseball. But, again, Life on the Margins reveals a major discrepancy:
Oregon is a classic "margin" team because of these two very relevant statistics:Yardage Margin in Pac Ten Games: + 136.4
Turnover Margin in Pac Ten Games: - 13The first number was by far the best in the conference. The second number was by far the worst. The second number is probably also more important: Oregon's ten-win team in 2005, for example, only outgained conference opponents by about 77 yards per game, good but well below last y
ear's team, yet it challenged for the BCS because it was also plus-13 in turnover margin.
SMQB goes on to point out that the reason for that -13 has much to do with Dennis Dixon's propensity for spectacularly bad interceptions and that a good deal about this season hinges on his ability to fix this problem. Will he? Dunno. That baseball thing has to give Duck fans the heebie-jeebies. But he is a senior with lots of starting experience and has a wicked set of skill position players to work with. The defense? I don't know. But Oregon's crap 2006 record has one clear cause that should get fixed. I expect a major bounce.
Thanks for your coverage on the everlasting standoff between the BTN and Comcast. It seems like the whole thing hinges on placement on basic cable inside the BT footprint. Good to know, but mostly irrelevant to someone like me outside the footprint who already subscribes to the Comcast sports tier. I say mostly, because although it seems that both sides are in agreement that it should be on the sports tier outside the footprint, I have heard no confirmation and fear it may be held up until the overall agreement is signed. Have you heard anything solid from either side regarding the availability of the network outside the footprint? I live in DC and vividly recall a season's worth of Washington Nationals games being lost because of a dispute between Comcast and the Mid Atlantic Sports Network. (Not that you or I care about the Nationals, but it shows a willingness on Comcast's part to play hardball (HA! I kill me.) when it comes to televising local
sports.)One other issue -- I saw that the BTN will be regionalizing multiple games played at the same time. It would be the ultimate insult to me if I actually got the BTN and then it showed the PSU game instead of Beloved Michigan. The BTN website tries to assuage fears of this by stating: "Whenever the Big Ten Network is producing more than one game at a time, cable and satellite providers that have agreed to carry the Big Ten Network will be offered the chance to carry the additional games via "overflow" channels." What the hell is an "overflow channel"? And how likely is it that a DC Comcast provider is going to pay to put UM - App State on an "overflow channel"? I'm guessing slim to none.
Conclusion: This blows as much as those This is Big Ten Country ads I saw on the BTN website.
Again, thanks for fighting the good fight.
Jeff Polich
I'm not an expert on the arcane jargon of the TV business, but I'm pretty sure that an overflow channel is one of those channels in the distant reaches of your 1,000 channel selection that is either dormant or full of obscure PPV shows. If we make the (potentially large) assumption that the cable companies and Big Ten Network come to a satisfactory resolution, the good news is that the BTN is offering everything it provides at one price. So the $1.10 (or whatever) the cable company pays covers the BTN, the HD version of the BTN, the video on demand, and the overflow channels. The only reason a company wouldn't provide overflow broadcasts is if they simply couldn't push the bits, something that seems extremely improbable. FWIW, DirectTV has already agreed to carry the overflow.
More BTN, this from a second source that confirms the Comcast-BTN breakdown:
I'm a frequent commenter at mgoblog. I have a little insight into the BTN situation that I've actually been meaning to email to you but forgot until I saw your most recent post on the Fanhouse. The conversation I'm referencing took place 2 weeks ago, so all quotes are paraphrased.
I was home (in Novi) a couple of weekends ago when I happened to run into an old neighbor who has either been involved with or is knowledgeable on (or both) the negotiations between Comcast and BTN. We were catching up and the conversation eventually turned to the BTN, and whether or not I was going to be able to see the games placed on the network where I live (I recently graduated and moved to suburban Philadelphia in New Jersey).
He made several points in the conversation that assured me the BTN people have their heads on straight. Among them were that Comcast is forcing people to have Lifetime, WE, Oxygen, Home Shopping Network, Versus, the Golf Channel, and other Comcast owned sports networks on their basic tier and refusing to carry BTN. He said that he presumes the reason that Comcast isn't willing to carry BTN on basic is because it's going to set a precedent for other conferences and sports leagues to follow in the Big Ten's footsteps. What that will do is eat away at games Comcast shoves on its smaller regionally owned networks. Basically, it's not about the customer, it's about Comcast protecting the rights to carry games (and other content) on networks it owns.
I'm sure you were able to figure out (or were told) most of the information I just described above. He did tell me some things I hadn't heard before. He said, "between you and me, if Comcast was willing to negotiate the $1.10 figure, this thing would be over tomorrow. They have no intent to put our network on basic cable." He reiterated that the $1.10 figure wasn't out of line based on the content they were going to provide, but that the BTN is willing to negotiate. I told him that I hoped the BTN didn't cave because I hate Comcast and everything unholy that it stands for. His response to that was to tell me that the BTN has every intention to take this stalemate into the season. He said most of the larger regional cable providers were waiting to see what kind of deal Comcast was going to get before negotiating their own deals with the BTN. He said that once the standoff goes into the season that Congressmen from every state that is home to a Big Ten university were going to get involved (or possibly going to get involved, I forget) and at that point they figure a deal will get done.
Basically, unless there is a dramatic break through, come week 1 of the football season, nobody is going to get this channel. The BTN is banking on public outrage, getting Congress involved, and then the plan is to take it from there. I don't believe that the network is going to end up anywhere other than basic within the Big Ten footprint. It's pretty clear to me, at least, that the problem here lies with Comcast, and that's not surprising to me in the slightest.
frequent commenter Matt who says his roomates Jeremy and Phil can f themselves
'06 Alum
I don't have much to offer here: this is not good. I emailed the BTN Media Relations guy who I've shot the occasional question to about the BTN after the Silverman interview and he confirmed the grimness as well. I brought up the possibility this was posturing in earlier posts about the breakdown, but why only posture at Comcast and not Time-Warner, etc.? The chances this gets resolved before the season hover near zero.
So, it's contingency plan time. I'll put up a post on alternatives soon. Our bandwidth may be able to salvage this for the afflicted.
With regards to the Diallo Johnson punt return thing, he may be getting a bad rap. I remember he was good for 13-14 yards per return, every return. Just freakishly consistant. Very nice after Woodson's "most exciting two yards in football" returns. I seem to remember some problems with returners catching the ball that season as well, though I don't have any facts on that and whether it was Whitley, Bellamy or one of the Currys. Anyway, my point is that anyone who handles all the punts cleanly and you can count on for 13-14 yards per return is okay. Sort of a Mike Hart of punt returns. We were spoiled by Breaston who was that plus the ability to break one. Johnson probably wasn't going to bust one, but he was always going forward. I'm sure Lloyd liked that about him.
-Andrew Bitner
Andrew might be right here: Diallo Johnson, surprisingly, averaged 10.6 yards a return over the course of his career. This doesn't live up to the numbers put up by Breaston but is about what Julius Curry (10.9) and Marquise Walker (10.8) did. And just about everyone beat the pants of one Charles Woodson and his 8.7. But none of them ever did this:
(Note: looking this up caused me to stumbl
e across a feature on MGoBlue I did not know existed: a prodigious database of player stats that goes back to the 50s. Need to know Roosevelt Smith's career rushing average? No problem! It's 4.5 YPC.)
Dear Unverified Voracity,
"Long time listener (reader), first time caller (emailer)."
I have a quick question/comment on the injury of Alex Mitchell. Do you not think it's possible they move Boren back to RG and let Moose get some snaps in? Or... with all the talk about trying O-lineman at different spots, move Moosman to RG? What's the deal with this guy? He was the most highly recruited C/G of the bunch (Molk,Ciulla,etc.) with equal or more experience than all. Also, I've seen him around and he looks like a beast. Can you share some knowledge?
It appears that the first option at RG without Alex Mitchell is Jeremy Cuilla and, should Cuilla go down, I would bet on Mark Ortmann drawing into the lineup with Schilling (the projected starter at RT) moving inside. One of the things a center has to do is get all the line calls right, so it's not as interchangeable as you might think. Moosman has gotten some meaningful praise -- it wouldn't surprise me to see him draw into the lineup when Kraus graduates -- but Cuilla has a couple years experience on him and has seen substantial playing time when the starters have gotten dinged. He'd probably be all right if pressed into a full-time starting job.
BTN Not Coming To A Comcast Near You
I threw this up on the Fanhouse, but for your discussion here:
Fox executive Bob Thompson said Thursday morning that he is "100 percent confident" that no deal will be struck with Comcast by Sept. 1, when the BTN will telebvise six football games.
"Having been through 15 of these (launches), I have a feel for the way things go," said Thompson, the president of Fox National Cable Sports Networks and a BTN board member. "There really has been no negotiation for a month."
This is potentially posturing designed to increase DirecTV flight, but it's also a direct statement specific to Comcast. Elsewhere there is mention of significant hope deals with other providers get done.
Also interesting:
"We have never made a proposal to them at $1.10," Thompson said in a telephone interview. "It has always been less than that. Other than expanded basic in the footprint, everything else is negotiable. We have gone the extra mile to create opportunities for meaningful negotiation to happen.
"$1.10 is the sticker price for a car."
If the Big Ten Network is really truly available for a number significantly below $1.10 (say 70 or 80 cents) that seems hard to justify keeping off given the prices of other RSNs, the amount of content on the BTN, and the distribution of CSS. But: posturing, maybe.

Video: Anna Kendrick Cup Trick from Pitch Perfect Blows Away David Letterman
By Gossip Cop, Sat, October 06, 2012
Anna Kendrick sings a cappella in the new movie Pitch Perfect, but the Oscar nominee's biggest talent might be when she combines vocals with a simple red cup.
On "Late Show with David Letterman," Kendrick recreated the movie's "cup trick," which she borrowed from a viral video version of "You're Gonna Miss Me" that the actress watched obsessively and copied.
It's pretty fantastic.

Apologies if this has been discussed before. A scientist seems to have discovered nitrogen-fixing bacteria for everything. I wonder if this will be available for gardeners. And I also kind of wonder if it will end up changing our atmosphere. |
Here is a link that might be useful: World-Changing Technology Enables Crops to Take Nitrogen from the Air
Follow-Up Postings:
It is an interesting concept, but I have a lot of questions and doubts about it in my mind. I hope it works out the way they want and that it is helpful and not harmful. You know, GMO crops infused with Bt sound good to some people----for example, who wouldn't want to grow corn that repels o rkills corn earworms and European corn borers on its own? Sounds great,huh? However, I cannot help thinking Bt corn is a large part of the reason that the butterfly populations are in so much trouble. Sometimes these technological advances that sound so promising can end up having side effects that make me wonder if we would have been better off without them all along. As the article mentioned, there's already various innoculants you can buy and use to coat seeds before you plant them in order to help the plants fix nitrogen, although they are only available for legumes. I usually innoculate my bean seeds before planting them. For years and years you had to order the innoculants, but now I see them on the shelves in spring right there with the seeds. That's an improvement. If this scientist's nitrogen-fixing bacteria ever hit the market, I feel like it will be something that commercial farmers would find cost-effective to use, but I'm not sure the average gardener would find it worthwhile. At the home-garden level, healthy soil that's well-amended with lots of compost and other organic amendments will feed plants just fine without us spending a lot of money for fertilizers or nitrogen-fixing bacteria. I do think that anything that would stop commercial farmers from feeding their plants very high-nitrogen fertilizers would be good. You know the kind of nitrogen over-feeding I'm talking about if you live in a farming area where fields are an incredible and unnatural green because they've been fed with stuff like anhydrous ammonia. |

A Jet crashed at Van Nuys Airport seconds into take off just before 11:00am today.
The bodies of two people, believed to be the only people on board, were found by fire crews.
There have been reports that a cargo door on the plane was open during takeoff, which is likely the cause or possibly a contributing factor to it.
No other individuals on the ground were hurt.
The plane was on its way to Long Beach.

For those of you who are hardcore fantasy football players, the season is not yet over, in fact it is far from over as we enter the Divisional Round of the 2013 NFL Playoffs. Things really heat up this week in the fantasy football playoff challenges as week reach the second week of the playoffs and all the teams are now in play.
This is a very interesting week for quarterbacks with the no-brainer play of the week being Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who gets a re-match against the Houston Texans, whom he dominated back in Week 14 to the tune of 296 passings yards and four touchdowns, which equated to an impressive 28 fantasy points.
Now expecting a repeat performance from Brady might be a bit much, but considering he will all-world tight end Rob Gronkowski back in the lineup and healthy, another big day from Tom Terrific is more than plausable.
Below is the entire list of Fantasy PPR Quarterback Rankings for the 2013 Divisional Playoffs:

After loading quite few apps and deleting quite a few, this app is a winner. The interface is simple to understand, straight
forward, and a model for how an app should work. No overly complex or obs
Crashed when I try to import pictures. Excellent app on iPad, but not at all impressive on iPhone
Hello please zoom mode for handwritingAnd right to left handwriting for arabic and persian
Ever since I updated last week, it has been crashing every time I tried to import a photo from my library. Prior to this, I loved
this app. I used it almost every day.
I used this routinely to keep my notes now it keep crashing I was surprised to see that it was not updated to be compatible with
new iOS
Is there a landscape view or only portrait or save to google drive? no save as pdf?
Keeps crashing whenever i try to make new note! Fix this plz
I switched to this after Penultimate was ruined by the latest updates. My main suggestion would be to let us have multiple pages
in each note. Love the writing guard feature. Very well thought out.
It is awesome App.Why not support Persian ( Farsi ) language?
Need longer page and color.Savings to drives will help.Main app is good
I like the writing. I usually need more room. I wish it would scroll down to a longer page.
I would give this 5 stars if it would sync from iPad to iPhone and vice versa. Would like to make memos on my iPad and have them
show up on the Memos app on my iPhone.
Great little app! But a great option would be, to also be able to type in your notes as well as handwrite them
I just like how I can use my finger to write notes great for short notes
THis is one of the best app for note taking, very simple and user friendly. Give it a try!
I really like using this on my iPad, but I would really like support for landscape and iOS 7 redesign. It is still good though.
(3★) Erasing Crashes the App
This app crashes every time I attempt to use the eraser. I can't even erase a portion of my scribbled notes and for a person
who's handwriting looks like chicken scratch (such as myself), that's
Really helpful app. Have trouble with multitasking gestures.
I use this app for my knitting. I take a picture of the chart and then line out the rows as I knit them.
Love the easy quick way I can use this
Great App. Very easy to use and figure out. I have my iPad Air in a folio case which I use in landscape format almost all the
time. Please update the app so that it will rotate when needed. Thank
This app is, to tell the truth, of limited use on my iPhone, but I still like it very much. My screen is too small to handle

Very good. Would like to see an arrow to go forward and backward to the different pages.
This is an incredibly good app. As an academic, I write my thoughts on the fly and later convert to text and use those to develop
full-fledged notes. The recognition dictionary is the best in the mark

If it had word conversion without Internet connection , I would rate it 5star

Just ok. Hard to read what I have written.
This would be a great app and a nice change from the new eye-blinding notepad via IOS-7. I say this would be and easily could be

Needs to have the ability to rotate to landscape. Other than that, works perfectly!
Glad this software is available for quick notes when at a impromptu meeting.
It works well for lefties. (Be sure to turn on the left handed setting.)
Works great for taking notes and converting to text.
Just what I need. Write a quick note or telephone number.
Sir,It is very handy,benefitial,for school kids and business it is excellentRegards
I really like this app! User- friendly and could Transfer into text accurately, which makes my learning process really efficient!

App is great. Just wish I could fine a stylus(Already have three) with a fine point that handles like a ball-point or felt-tip
Dont have a stlus but i think it would be better. Also can u cut and paste? That would be nice. Your finger uses a lot of space on

I do wish it would rotate as well. Maybe a fix is in the works?
This has become my go-to note taker on the fly. Everything about it works!
This is an excellent app for quick note taking. Easy to use and well designed. I would have given it 5 stars if it worked in

Fast, efficient, easy. Works just great ! Tks a bunch!
We needed a whiteboard app and tried a couple on the market.then somebody decided if we change the background to white it would

Lindt to buy Russell Stover
"We see in America, as in other places, that consumers move from the mass market product to higher-value products. We've seen that in coffee and bread, in restaurants, and now also with chocolate, there's an upgrading under way," he said.
He declined to say whether the group still expected to generate double-digit growth in North America after the deal.
In a separate statement, Lindt confirmed its financial targets, after underlying sales rose 9.2 percent, or 6 percent on a reported basis, to 1.2 billion Swiss francs ($1.34 billion) in the first half of the year.
Tanner said the deal would give Lindt more weight in negotiating with retailers. "We'll likely be 'category captain' for premium chocolate, meaning we'll be able to advise our partners on their product selection and sales activities."
Shares in Lindt were up 2.9 percent at 4,633 francs by 1416, outperforming a 1 percent firmer European sector index.
If the price estimate is correct, Kepler Cheuvreux analyst Jon Cox said it would represent a "hefty multiple" of 23.3 times earnings before interest tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).

I've had an all-gas Viking stove top/oven for about 8 years . . . recently, oven won't heat up beyond about 350 degrees (though broiler still works). Eg., if I turn the oven to 475, it will heat to 350 and heating light will remain on, but it won't go past 350.
What do you think is the problem here and how can I fix it? Thanks a ton, No More Luke Warm Pizza |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your oven burner is apparently dead. Other Viking owners have reported similar problems like this in the past. |
Weissman, what do you mean "oven burner"? Do you mean the ignitor? If so, ignitor's go eventually on any older oven, not just Viking. Pacifican - it's a good chance it's your oven's ignitor. These do age after a while, and it is normal wear and tear for them to fail after a period like 8 years. And that would be for EVERY brand oven, not just Viking. If it is the ignitor, it is a simple fix. If you are handy, you can do it yourself. If you want a repair person to replace it, you should at least buy the ignitor yourself online, which will be much cheaper than buying it through your repairperson. I am linking a thread which discusses my oven's ignitor replacement. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Thread about Oven Ignitor Replacement
No, I'm not talking about the ignitor - I talking about the actual burner - the tube(?) with holes in it that the gas comes through and ignites. People with Vikings have reported that they had to have them replaced and were told that it was normal to have them replaced every 5 years or so - these owners were not pleased. You're correct that it could just be the ignitors but the OPs description made it sound like the other problem. I suspect those thread have rolled off by now. |
I think akchicago is probably right..... I believe your problems is that the ignitor has failed and does not put out enough amperage to keep the valves turned on for the burner to use as fuel. (it is most likely that only one of the ignitors has failed and the other is still working) So essentially, the burner comes on for a minute or so then it goes out because the valve shuts off. This happens on and off continuously, and the oven just cannot get hot enough. Watch the oven and see what happens. If the burner comes on and then shuts off after a short period even though the oven is not at the right temperature, then this is your problem. You can see the flame come on below the metal plate at the bottom of the oven cavity. If this has gone on (on/off ignitor cycle) for a long time, then ignitor can actually completely fail and does not glow at all. Which means that only 1 of two burners will show coming on. Either way, I would try replacing the ignitors first. If both burners come on (even for short periods of time), that means that the burner is working fine. All gas burners more or less work on venturi principle (the tube with holes) and it is extremely hard to make them fail because there is no moving parts or electrical parts. Most burners fail due to metal breakdown, ie heat or rust. I doubt that this is the problem. I just replaced my Viking ignitors for about $60.00. You can replace them with any ignitor that is shaped the same. Do the search on line for how to replace these ignitors. I have multiple apliances with gas burners and I have never had a burner fail. I have had many ignitors give me trouble, however. This is the nature of these appliance. If someone tells you that it is the burner, then they have to show you failed burner, ie rusted/broken down metal tube. Otherwise, they have just swindled you. Ceramic ignitors are used in nearly all pilotless gas burners, ie gas furnaces, ovens, gas fireplaces etc, and they go out after certain number of cycles. Most BBQs do not (cannot without electricity) have these since they use spark type of ignition. Viking part was about $100 to $150 each and you need two of them since there are two burners in the oven. If you or your spouse is handy, this is a very easy job. We chose to use after market part for less than 1/2 the price. (We bought them on e-bay. Try Viking oven ignitor search) We decided that even if it failed after couple years, we know how to replace them quickly and cheaply. It's still going strong after countless pizza bakes. BTW, by the time the repairman comes and replaces the ignitors with Viking parts, you are out minimum $500. This is one of the reasons a cheap gas range would not get ignitors replaced but tossed! Good luck. I am a very happy camper to have my oven back for $60 total so we can make our weekly homemade pizzas. |
These do age after a while, and it is normal wear and tear for them to fail after a period like 8 years. REALLY? Is that the case nowadays? I did not have an ignitor fail in my 1981 Kenmore Range for the first 22 years. I have read of ignitors cracking on Bluestar ranges if you move them with say a rag and slam it against the cook-top or slam it with a pan. But "normal wear and tear" after only 8 years? This is the first I have heard of this. |
Deeageaux, look, I'm just trying to help the OP. I'm not sure what you are getting at with your post. Do you have an electronic ignitor on your 1981 Kenmore? Or is it a spark ignitor? Is it a Hot Surface Ignitor? Hot Surface Ignitors (HSI's) are what are installed in almost all ranges today, including the Viking, Whirlpool, GE, Dacor, Wolf, Capital, Kitchenaid, and all the other commonly known brands. HSI's do not last 21 years. Besides just aging, HSI's can decline due to subtle variations in voltage that the homeowner may not even be aware, with exposure to cleaners, and even from a light grease coating. And, even when an HSI does not fail, it becomes weak over time. The oven may seem to be working, but actually takes a very long time to reach temperature, or clicks on and off too frequently, or cannot maintain the oven temperature, or allows a smell of gas (when gas is released into the oven but is not igniting). All these things are a result of an HSI aging and signal that it needs to be replaced. Deeageaux, 5-8 years is more typical of HSI's. Do a search on the 'net and you will read that. It's good news for the OP. I am glad that the OP will have an easy inexpensive repair to get her oven back to working order. |
Seems strange that folks will spend thousands on gas kitchen appliances and not be bothered buying the most obvious spares for failure prone components before they need them. |
Based on the above comments and my own research, I have decided to go with a switchout on the igniters (the symptoms and remedy appear to be rather common in my model). Incidentally, I contacted Viking on line and have yet to receive a response. Anyway, I went ahead and ordered 2 new igniters for baking oven. Going with "generic" ignitors (almost a 50% savings over OEM). Again, based upon what I've read on line these generics appear to work as well OEMs. Should have parts shortly, will let y'all know the results. Thanks for the quick and, at times, spirited response . . . . |
Deeageaux, look, I'm just trying to help the OP. I'm not sure what you are getting at with your post. My point is ignitors should last alot longer,particularly on such an expensive oven. But if it performs fantastically then I guess it could be considered part of the price. Like high performance cars that require more maintenence than a typical Honda or Toyota. |

I have a gas Viking stove and recently one of the burners would come on and not the other but the flame is weak, the ignitors are glowing hot on both sides, when I bang on the bottom of the stove both burners come on at full power then they go down and turn off. I cleaned the burners, the ignitors look ok, I'm thinking, could it be a flame sensor or something else? |

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I absolutely love these invitations! They are the perfect mix of traditional, but adding a subtle touch of fun with the palm tree, raised border, and glittery ink. The only thing I wish was different was the paper. It is good quality paper but kind of boring and plain. I would have liked to pick a thicker paper if the option was available. However, the other features make the invitation very classy. I am so excited to send them out to my guests!"
"I loved this invitation. It is classy and elegant. Exactly what i was looking for. It is way more beautiful/fancy in person rather than what the picture shows online. We decided to go with a different invite due to our wedding theme."
"the picture online of this invitation does not do it justice. it is way better looking in person. The gold is elegant and I'll be ordering this for my wedding invitations soon! perfect for our Charleston wedding! one comment i do have is that. i would make the font a little bigger, some words are hard to read."
"Very beautiful invitation. Easy to read and mixes great fonts. Elegant but with a modern flair. Love how it highlights the names."
"Our invitations arrived today!! To start: We were a little worried that the design would be a bit too plain, but they are absolutely beautiful. Incredibly elegant and the raised print and paper quality makes them look way more expensive than they actually were! The service: I was TOTALLY unprepared for the service that we got from the company. The boxes the invitations come in are adorable and there are instructions included for how to stuff the envelopes and they provide an example envelope stuffed correctly as a model. They also gave us fine tissue paper for the invitation. All in all, these invitations were such an amazing surprise! I am SO excited for our guests to get them in the mail."

The Orthodox Way of Prayer in Stoke
On Saturday 15th March, the Orthodox Midlands Mission of the British Orthodox Church within the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate organised a study day in Stoke on Trent as The Orthodox Way of Prayer.
Thanks to the kind hospitality of the Revd. Darren McIndoe and his congregation at St Paul's, Burslem, participants from many different backgrounds came together to study the Orthodox spirituality of prayer in an atmosphere of friendship and Christian fellowship.
The event began with Morning Prayer from the Coptic Daily Office, and then a series of short talks on various themes such as The Prayer of the Heart, Prayer with the Scriptures and Developing a Prayer Rule were interspersed with practical opportunities for prayer and discussion.
An excellent buffet lunch was provided by local supporters of the Orthodox Midlands Mission and there was a great deal of conversation over the shared food. The event concluded with the offering of the prayer of the Ninth Hour from the Coptic Daily Office.
The participants included priests and the faithful from Evangelical, Anglican, Catholic and Orthodox backgrounds. Father Peter Farrington was especially pleased to be able to meet Father Samuel Carter of the Antiochian Orthodox Church who attended the study day with some of his congregation.
The next event in Stoke will be an hierarchical Liturgy, the first British Orthodox liturgy of the Orthodox Midlands mission on Saturday, April 12th, celebrated by His Eminence Metropolitan Seraphim. A second liturgy is planned for Saturday, June 7th at which an adult baptism will take place, and a second study day is already been planned to build on the success of The Orthodox Way of Prayer.
Orthodox Way of Prayer
On Saturday, March 15th, Father Peter Farrington will be leading an ecumenical study day at St Paul's Church of England, Burslem, Stoke on Trent. This event is the first public activity of the Orthodox Midlands mission in Stoke and has already drawn the interest of clergy and laity from many local congregations representing various Christian traditions in the Stoke on Trent area.
This exciting and interesting day of prayer and study has been organised as The Orthodox Way of Prayer. This will take place in Burslem, Stoke on Trent on Saturday, March 15th, and all are welcome to come and experience a taste of the Orthodox spiritual life of prayer.

A brief history of the dam
The Prairie du Sac Dam, located about one mile north of Prairie du Sac, Wis., will celebrate one hundred years of operations in September 2014. The hydroelectric facility has a rich history in providing energy to area residents, spurring economic growth across the region, and helping to launch Alliant Energy's Wisconsin utility – Wisconsin Power and Light Company.
Building a structure the size of the dam in the early 1900s was no easy task but ground was broken for the project in 1911. To transport materials to the site, the railroad was extended and a construction camp was built on the west bank of the Wisconsin River for the large number of required workers. Building the dam brought numerous challenges. Flooding in 1911 and 1912, and an ice break up in 1913 damaged the construction site. Despite these setbacks, the power plant began producing renewable energy in 1914.
Wisconsin Power and Light Company - then known as Eastern Wisconsin Electric Company - purchased the Prairie du Sac Dam in 1917 and has owned and operated the hydroelectric facility ever since. While the 31-megawatt power plant is small by today's standards, when it was built it was one of the largest sources of electricity in the Midwest.
The birth of Lake Wisconsin
While the dam has been a consistently reliable source of electricity for a century, an equally important contribution is that its construction formed Lake Wisconsin. This 10,000 acre lake is a very popular tourist attraction that offers 52 miles of shoreline. The beginnings of Lake Wisconsin and the Prairie du Sac Dam will be forever linked with both marking important milestones together.
Join the celebration
To commemorate the Prairie du Sac Dam's 100th anniversary, as well as the birth of Lake Wisconsin, Alliant Energy and several organizations in the Sauk Prairie area are involved in multiple historic, educational and fun events. The details for these events are evolving so we encourage you to come back often and visit the 100th Anniversary Celebration Schedule of Events Page.

With funding from the Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation, TARL has initiated an analysis of heritable traits in Native American dentition in Texas modeled on Christy Turners massive landmark analysis of heritable discrete (or non-metric) dental traits on modern and prehistoric Native Americans from southwestern US and adjacent Mexico. Turner, a physical anthropologist at Arizona State University, was able to identify and quantify clusters of these heritable traits, some of which correspond to modern tribal groups. Turner was also able to recognize prehistoric population movements and was in some cases able to identify individual communities whose populations clearly differed significantly from nearby communities that appeared otherwise identical archeologically.
The remarkable geographic and environmental diversity of Texas, together with its long history of Native American occupation, make it highly probable that an analysis of heritable dental traits will identify genetic relationships and differences not otherwise recognizable. This will provide an unparalleled opportunity for assessing relationships among prehistoric Texans, particularly when the data are integrated with that from the Southwest and, over time, with data from other adjacent areas.
No other kind of data (other than DNA which requires destructive analysis) can yield the level of specificity derivable from heritable dental traits. Heritable traits reveal attributes about people that may be masked by traditional archeological data. Turner (1993) noted that key heritable dental traits are particularly useful for this kind of analysis for several reasons.
In addition, as Turner pointed out, because teeth are generally the best preserved skeletal elements, heritable traits expressed in them are more likely to be observable than heritable traits in other skeletal elements. Indeed, dentition is sometimes the only preserved portion of a skeleton. Importantly, collection of data on heritable dental traits is nondestructive and is replicable.
TARL currently holds approxiigh probability of good observations of crown size, number of roots, and certain other non-metric traits. A smaller proportion (83%) has a high probability of yielding data on cusp attributes. Accounting for those with poor preservation, inaccessible portions, and other issues, approximately 1000 sets of remains are likely to yield meaningful observations. Approximately one-third of these are affiliated with federally recognized Native American tribes or are under the control of federal government agencies.
For our project, data collection and analysis is being done by physical anthropologist Matt Taylor who has conducted extensive analysis of prehistoric skeletal remains from the Texas coastal areas (most at TARL) as well as elsewhere in the US. Targeting geographically dispersed sites/collections, the initial sample will focus on some 500 sets of remains. Matt has already coded four large prehistoric cemeteries along the Texas coast and has begun work on another.

I'm sure I'll be accused of sensationalism from our resident liberals but all well. Guy get shot in the head in front of his wife as they finish their Christmas shopping. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/world_news&id=9362438
They found the car in Newark. I was a victim of a car jacking in Newark. Guy held a gun to my head and told me to get out. I did EXACTLY that. It was a rental car. These folks find nothing wrong with taking other people's property. They figure that they deserve it more.
The more law abiding citizens who carry concealed weapons and kill these idiots when they commit a crime the better. Shoot first, shoot to kill, ask questions later.
Horrible, horrible story. Not sure why you think liberals would think this is any else. Everyday I get closer to never reading the news again.
what a tragic situation but based upon what I read even if he had been carrying he would not have had time to pull it out
Yep, that's the tough part. Being armed might not stop such events since the motivated offender often has the element of surprise to their advantage. Stomach turning It could change the odds. Depends of course if she can get the weapon easily and make the shot. Under such trying circumstances with adrenaline, fear, confusion etc... it's not always so clear that someone could or would be able to.
While we have gun control, to be sure, relatively speaking ours are not all that restrictive. That said, you happen to live in one of a few states in which it is.
There have been at least 9,900 gun related deaths in the last year. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/28/gun-deaths-since-newtown_n_4165061.html But hey, the "knockout game" is the real scary "danger" to be worried about.
Not that I have the need to carry in the Irish Rivera, but it would be nice to have the option if I god forbid had to go to Newark.
